otakulys's manga / #strange(12)

I... I hope that banana wasn't too ripe.

Whoever is making changes on the site right now needs to stop. It's getting worse and worse. It's like all bad stuff for no reason and zero improvements. Anyway, that's beside the point. This manga was weird as hell, but it was entertaining, so hey. Definitely some bizarro stuff going on here.

Kind of dark and definitely pretty strange. I don't have a piercing fetish myself, so I couldn't join in their excitement, but the story was interesting, and I like their twisted relationship, even if it's slightly unhealthy.

....What?

.... ........ .............. ...Uh.... Well, I mean, when the girl is running over, it was genuinely creepy. The grinning with all the fucked up stuff happening. Just... I mean, I appreciate the dark humor of it, but what the hell did I just read? I feel like there's some weird attempt at social commentary happening here, but it's clear the artist is just big on bizarro stuff. Definitely strange, but I didn't hate it.

Three stars for now just because I'm... kind of confused? The art is fantastic, and I like what I see, but I don't understand what's happening. It jumps around so much with no clear indication of who's who, so I can't tell which things are old memories, which things are currently happening, and which things are random, supernatural occurrences, like the building appearing. Or was that even supposed to seem mysterious? I don't even know. So yeah, here's hoping it fills us in more soon.

Strange and sad little story regarding the worth we put on people based on their appearance and what they can do for us. I like the message, but I wish this sort of story could last longer. It sucks that girls like this, either monstrous in appearance or just outside of typical beauty, can really only exist in some sort of moral tale to highlight the fact that we care too much about looks.

I read it because one of my favorite kinks is "forced to watch," which is oddly hard to find. I knew based on the cover that it would have little substance, but it was also confusing. It says there's a story connected to it, but it hasn't been posted on here. I don't even know. I mostly just skimmed it, cause porn without story and emotional attachment doesn't do it for me.

This was so pretty! And I really enjoyed the story, even though I'm bummed that there wasn't even a kiss. They had these little intimate moments, but it was always shrouded in the strange relationship between them, like you couldn't call it romantic or anything. I know that they care about one another, and there's the implication that they're dating after the girl at the coffee shop asks, but it would have been nice to see a little affection. It's sort of an odd story, but it's interesting. I would have liked to have seen more, and I feel like a lot is left unexplained, but not in a plot hole kind of way. I'm gonna read all of this author's work, though, because it's so beautiful. Hopefully the stories are this quality or better.

This author, other than writing about children being murdered, tortured, and raped, likes to play with metaphors and analogies through weird things like this. Somehow, I enjoy it, despite the weirdness. The art isn't perfect, but I really like it for the most part. I don't know, maybe the fact that none of it really makes sense on a simple scale is part of the appeal.
